Madman Working on an EP Project

Eddie Clyde Blackmon Jr., known artistically as “Madman” and celebrated as the “King of Florida,” was born into a world where resilience and discipline were paramount. Growing up as the son of a dedicated military father, Eddie found his earliest lessons in duty and commitment. His father, a Sergeant First Class in the U.S. Army instilled a strong sense of integrity and ethical values that shaped Eddie’s worldview.

His mother, an accomplished restaurant area manager, mirrored this dedication with her industrious work ethic and leadership skills, qualities that Eddie embraced as central to his own character.

Eddie’s upbringing as part of a military family introduced him to the complexities of a nomadic lifestyle, as he moved frequently and experienced life in various regions across the United States.

This constant change led him to immerse himself in diverse cultures and adapt to new environments, providing a rich tapestry of experiences. While navigating the challenges of frequent relocations and new school.
